Destino Conf San Antonio Style

I am sitting in the San Antonio airport after an incredible evening with Latino students from all over the US.  Other reports will flow in about this conference, but I believe this is another tipping point event.

A big time thanks and leadership kudos go out to Mark Vera – who, despite some concerns and doubts from powers that be (read: me) led as a man full of faith and did what God has called him to do.  This is true of all the Destino staff who rallied to make this event possible.  It was also very nice to see Alex Garcia, the man who helped begin the whole Latino journey for the US Campus Ministry.

Alex spoke last night and called students to “Represent” Christ in all they do and specifically in their community and on campus.  He called them to live a life beyond complacent faith and become passionate about who God has called them to be.  

Of the 150+ students at the event 50 were from California.  Today they are doing some practical training, outreach in the community in South San Antonio and talking about launching chapters on new campus.  It is very exciting to see God at work!
